1971 Map of Aliceville

About this map

Aliceville serves as the central hub of this eastern Kansas landscape, situated where the Missouri Pacific railroad cuts across the agricultural plains of Coffey County. The region is defined by its rural community structure, with small family burial grounds and country congregations marking the townships of Star, Avon, and Spring Creek. Waterways like Scott Creek and the meandering Crooked Creek provide natural drainage and determine the local topography, while the boundary with Westphalia in Anderson County is clearly delineated to the east. For those tracing family histories in the area, the map preserves the locations of several important local landmarks, including the Scott Valley Ch and well-established cemeteries such as Altamont Cem and Quisling Cem, which speak to the generations of settlers who farmed these section-line divided lands.
